Housing Bubble, credit bubble, public planning, land use, zoning and transportation in the exurban environment. Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.



At least it doesn't look trashy like the previous one you posted. Say $150000 for a reasonable price. But this is Cali.
ReplyDeleteOverabundance of charm? I'd that code for tacky?
ReplyDeleteCode for wickedly overpriced.
ReplyDeleteCinco, how you doing? Seems the cold front pushed over you. Chatham is still blustery rain.
ReplyDeleteThey're estimating 8-2" now for my area, but 12-18" in Boston. We've already got more than 8" now, so I expect the totals to be on the high side.
DeleteBut we still have power, and as long as we have that we have heat so our plumbing should be safe... For now
Do you let you faucets drip.
DeleteOk, how much?
ReplyDeleteUh-oh, everybody thinks the markets going higher...
ReplyDeleteThe Market always goes up, we learned that from real estate! Much more of this and I can retire! :)
ReplyDeleteNo new snow here and 42F currently. Pipes can still freeze with heat in old housed poorly built.
Sell, dammit, sell.!!
ReplyDeleteA n d don't complain to me if the mkt drops like a bomb.
ReplyDeleteWhat poor Cinco is looking forward to over the next few days, dripping the faucets won't matter. This is stories from grandparents cold not childhood cold coming.
ReplyDeleteYa... Looking pretty brutal... Damn global warming...
DeleteThe picture they showed looked like a hurricane, from space, with an eye, and feeder bands and.everything
ReplyDeleteNor'Easters, also known as mid-latitudes cyclones, are the most powerful storms on Earth. They tend to be much larger than hurricanes and typhoons, so the energy per square miles is lower, but the total energy throughout the Storm is greater
Delete-4 to -6 here over the next two nights. Supposed to warm up to 29 by Monday. Break out the cut offs and tank tops!
ReplyDeleteOn Monday were expected to "finally" get above 10°F
DeleteBut If I get off the market roller coast top and it stills goes up! I can't lose I tell you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and you bought your house in 2005 or 2006. It's imaginary money.
DeleteSilly LBD.
Hurricanes on Ice, It just sound brutal. Good luck, stay safe.
ReplyDeleteYa know... Me only real worry is frozen pipes. My son had a pipe burst yesterday and I'm going to have to go over and help him patch the wall on Sunday.

ReplyDeleteLike a giant squid tentacle.
My daughter didn't want to be frozen, so she's staying with a friend. She'll have to go home to feed the cat
ReplyDelete---Boston
Some of my fondest memories are of Boston in heavy snow. Magical.
ReplyDeleteTwo of the Sears closing are San Jose and Santa Clarita. Must be the real estate.
ReplyDeleteYep and I bought my house in 2002. Value only matters when you sell, I'm not selling and fake values only drive up property tax. I kind of like not paying big taxes anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's not taxes here, it's insurance. Just wait until the insurance companies get Kali and Huston.
ReplyDelete34° here.
ReplyDeleteBoston people wading in the flooding water reminds me of Houston, except that water wasn't freezing cold.
ReplyDeleteNow, their insurance is really going up, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see what happens to my fire insurance.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to go up, way up. Do you have any doubts.
DeleteFun Facts:
The Boston airport has a melting Machine to melt snow on the runways
Bloomberg has a cart that shows 4 cities with low unemployment has admirable increases in wages. Also the minimum wage has increased significantly in a number of states, including Florida
Chart
DeleteHas
True, one of the cities is Ogden.
DeleteGee, Champaign has got up to 6° and Merritt Island up to 48°. Which is very cold for us.
ReplyDeleteLawyerliz, the sky is falling, the sky is falling! Not really, just frozen iguanas!

Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteLooks like B-2 shows no over all monthly move upward. A little increase of OT for non durable goods and a tic up in leisure and hospitality. Utilities, Logging and mining, construction up a bit. Hurricane and fire boost I suspect. U-3 still propaganda. IMO :)
Liz, good news! From UMDan:
ReplyDelete“Many pythons were reported dead, floating in the Everglades,” the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement to the Palm Beach Post.
The deaths resulted from both the low temperatures and the length of time of the frigid weather.
Yay! Iguanas are cute however. I imagine gators do ok. People are rescuing sea turtles. Land turtles. Haven't seen them much.

ReplyDeleteLet's see how long the leisure/hospitality hiring continues now that another dozen states have raised the minimum wage.
Are you kidding? The whole world will want to come to Florida, where 33 or 34 at nite is a heat wave, compared to say
Delete--1°.
New post. Don't shoot the messenger.
ReplyDeleteRD, good point. Our old Mc D's is being replaced and speculation is touch screen ordering Will be here. Raise the minimum wage, jobs or hours work will lose.
